Mediterranean diet benefits

I don't think there's a traditional diet that was ever so widely reccomended as the Mediterranean diet. Medical doctors, the USA and other governments, health agencies, chefs, everyone seems attracted to it.

To be sure, the Mediterranean diet was naturally healthy before non-Mediterranean discovered it. The Mediterranean peoples just never gave so much thought to it, they simply continued cooking, eating and enjoying food as they had done for centuries.

Since the first scientific study conducted by professor Ancel Keys, there have been many studies aimed at showing the Mediterranean diet benefits. Virtually all of them have had very positive results.

In my web site I give guidelines for anyone who wants to follow the Mediterranean diet.

Remember that although Dr Keys called it a diet, it's simply a great way of cooking and eating, a lifestyle I'd say, that doesn't involve any sacrifice.
